Brisbane will move to ditch a car space minimum for inner city high-rises — a shift the city's mayor claims will drive down home prices.
"Our approach preserves Brisbane's low-density suburbs and helps prevent urban sprawl, which contributes to congestion and causes significant transport and environmental costs."Griffith University urban planner Mark Limb said there was no guarantee developers would pass on any saving to home buyers. "There’s this false idea that the private market — if it's released from its regulatory shackles — is just going to flood the market with housing and it's simply not how it works. Developers are very careful to trickle out the release of their housing projects, so they don't devalue them," Dr Limb said.
